Religious Institutions

For over eighty years, we have provided insurance solutions to religious institutions throughout central Alabama. From smaller neighborhood churches to the largest church in the city, older traditional churches to new contemporary churches, our agency can provide comprehensive coverage tailored to meet the needs of your specific situation.

We know the risk specific to religious institutions.
Being a non-profit entity, a religious institution cannot afford to have any gaps in its insurance program. Therefore, it is imperative that your unique risk exposures be adequately addressed. In fact, we represent many different insurance companies with specifically designed programs for religious institutions. Some of the risk exposures your religious institution may have include: 

  • Pastoral Professional Liability
  • Directors and Officers Coverage including Employment Practice Liability
  • Daycare or School Operations Exposure
  • Teachers Liability
  • Sexual Misconduct Liability
  • Mission Trips (Both Local and International)
  • Sponsored Athletic Programs
  • Renters Liability
  • Accident Liability (Youth Trips, Mission Trips, etc.)
  • Automobile Exposures
  • Volunteers Liability

Whether your church is operating a soup kitchen, taking a mission trip to Africa, operating a mother’s morning out program or providing rides for the elderly, it is imperative that you have a broker and insurance company that understand the diverse and various situations churches are involved. Give us a call to learn how we can protect your religious institution and give you confidence moving forward.

Success Story - Devised a solution to protect church grounds
A beautiful, historical church suffered major damage during a hurricane. In addition to several buildings being damaged, numerous, large oak trees were uprooted and branches were scattered within the garden courtyard. Since the grounds and gardens of the church are a focal point, bringing in large trucks and cranes to remove the trees would have caused further damage.

Starke Agency worked with the insurance company to arrange for the majority of the work to be done by helicopter, thus eliminating additional damage to their beautiful grounds.
